This is an important finding for those hoping to find life on some of the Solar System's biggest moons.

Now, how we're going to manage to get deep drilling equipment to the surface of Titan or Europa, that's for future generations to engineer.

Eventually, they will find that life originated in the crust and then migrated to the oceans. And your point is dead-on, life may well be found in the crust on Mars, Venus, Mercury and elsewhere.

The Deep Hot Biosphere

The thesis of the book is that oil and gas is renewable and being replenished deep underground.

Not a major issue. The big problem is sneaking a pretty potent load of nuclear material past the greenies and attorneys into orbit.

"All these worlds are yours except Europa. Attempt no landings there."

[worst-case scenario]

If life can exist in these deep anaerobic levels, it certainly does seem plausible that it can exist in non-Earth planetoids, planets and moons.

Hoe will the discovery of life elsewhere affect Man’s own story of his existence?
